Abstract:
Multiple primary cancers are usually defined as primary malignant tumors of different histological origins in one person. Synchronous cancers are defined as two or more primary cancers diagnosed in the same patient at the same time or within six months after identifying the first tumor, and those cancers that develop at more than a six-month interval are termed as metachronous multiple primary cancers. Our study comprised of a patient with synchronous laryngeal cancer with double localizations. The case was solved through surgical excision of the tumors. Histopathological and immunohistochemistry examinations revealed synchronous laryngeal cancer. Laryngeal cancer should usually be managed through surgical resection, followed by oncological treatment.
